At Quest Software, our mission is to be the “go-to” partner to help modernize, protect, and secure hybrid Active Directory and Microsoft 365 environments. We aim to build mission-critical solutions for cybersecurity resilience and risk management, disaster recovery, and migration that help organizations globally enable digital transformation while still protecting their investment in the highest-value (and highly targeted) on-prem assets such as Active Directory.

In fact, Active Directory (AD) is every cyber criminal’s favorite attack target because it provides primary authentication and authorization for 90% of the Global Fortune 1000. If adversaries compromise AD via ransomware or other tactics, then they can shut down an entire business. Come join Quest in our nearly 25-year journey helping customers achieve their business outcomes, including:

• Efficiently managing and protecting identities in a hybrid
  
  AD ecosystem
• Securing intellectual property (IP), regulated information, and other critical data
